The reason this was tricky for me is that _imagingft is a binary file 
(or a stub to a binary rather, in Bob's words) as opposed to a python 
module.  So there was no way for me to look inside to see what it was 
asking for.  In the end, things were simpler than that.  One of the 
arguments passed to the _imagingft method was the name of the file: 
"Vera.tff".

Thanks Bob and everybody for the help,
